2. ARMM Region

3. The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (: Nagsasariling
Rehiyon ng Muslim sa Mindanaw) is the region, located in
the Mindanao island group of the Philippines, that is composed of five
predominantly Muslim provinces, namely: Basilan (except Isabela
City), Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. It is the
only region that has its own government. The regional capital is at Cotabato
City, although this city is outside of its jurisdiction.
The ARMM previously included the province of Shariff Kabunsuan until 16
July 2008, when Shariff Kabunsuan ceased to exist as a province after
the Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the "Muslim Mindanao
Autonomy Act 201", which created it, unconstitutional in Sema v. Comelec.
Armm region is one of the impoverish areas in the Philippines. It has the
lowest per capita gross regional domestic product among the Philippines’
17 regions. Four provinces of Armm were among the 10 poorest provinces
in the Philippines , with Maguindanao as the second with the highest
incidence of poverty among the Philippines’ provinces, Despite its
“autonomous” nature, approximately 98 percents of ARMM’s operating
revenue is from the National Government of the Philippines. The per
capita spending on vital services of the region, such as education and
infrastructure, are among the lowest in the Philippines.

4. Geography
The ARMM spans two geographical areas: Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao
(except Cotabato City) in south western Mindanao, and the island provinces of
Basilan (except Isabela City), Sulu and Tawi-Tawi in the Sulu Archipelago. The
region covers a total of 12,288 km².
Cultural heritage
The native Maguindanaon and other native Muslim/non-Muslim groups have a
culture that revolves around kulintang music, a specific type of gong music,
found among both Muslim and non-Muslim groups of the Southern.
Establishment of the ARMM
The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao region was first created on
August 1, 1989 through Republic Act No. 6734 (otherwise known as the
Organic Act) in pursuance with a constitutional mandate to provide for an
autonomous area in Muslim Mindanao.

8. The Province of Basilan (Zamboangueño: Provincia de Basilan) is an
island province of the Philippines within the Autonomous Region in
Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). Basilan is the largest and northernmost of
the major islands of the Sulu Archipelago and is located just off the
southern coast of Zamboanga Peninsula (geographical region). Its
capital, Isabela City, is grouped together with Basilan for geographical
and statistical purposes, but is administered independently as part of
the Zamboanga Peninsula Region.
People of Basilan
Basilan is the homeland of the Yakan, a peace-loving people
known for their colorful clothes hand-woven with intricate
geometric designs, as well as for their elaborate weddings
and festivals. Upland, they grow rice, corn, coconuts, and
rootcrops. Approximately 55 percent of the people speak
Chavacano. The rest speak either the tribal dialects of Yakan,
Tausug, and Samal, or Cebuano and Tagalog.

11. Economy of Basilan
Basilan is an agricultural province with a few industries. It is the
country's leading producer of rubber, with plantations such as B.F.
Goodrich's in Latuan, east of Isabela and Menzi's, on the road to
Maluso town. Other major crops grown on a commercial scale are
coconut, coffee, black pepper and Africanpalm oil. The province
however, is dependent on other provinces for its basic food
requirements of rice, vegetables, and meat. The surrounding waters,
particularly in the Pilas group of islands, are rich in fish and other
marine resources. Tuna, mackerel, and sardines are the dominant fish
species. Agar-agar, a variety of seaweed, is cultivated along the coasts.
Basilan has a constant ship route to other provinces, spcecially to the
City of Zamboanga. Most of the supplies of the major department
stores, hardware stores, and agrivets get their supplies from
Zamboanga City.

22. Lanao Del Sur
Lanao del Sur is the land of the Maranaos, “people of the lake,” among the
most devout of Muslim tribes as well as the most artistic. Nowhere is this
more evident than in the the people’s most natural way of life and the land’s
most attractive sites.
The life of the Maranaos centers on Lake Lanao, the second largest and
deepest in the Philippines and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful. The
lake is surrounded with myths and legends. The climate here is
envigorating and fine grazing land stretches into the distance. A
commanding view of the lake is offered by Marawi City, the provincial
capital.

23. The unique natural setting of the Maranaos is perhaps best
manifested in Marawi Cty, by the presence of the many large
torogans, the Maranao houses, which are characterized by an
antique royal high roof with curved designs. The city’s Aga
Khan Museum, located within Mindanao State University, is a
repository of Maranao and other Moro artifacts. It boasts a
huge collection of indigenous art and cultural materials, ethnic
music, the native tools and weapons used by the Muslims,
and Muslim houses of different artistic designs. Founded in
1962, the university draws the most crowds to the city.

It is bounded on the north by Lanao del Norte, on the east by
Bukidnon, on the west by Illana Bay, and on the south by
Maguindanao and Cotabato. Rolling hills and valleys, a placid lake
and river dominate the landscape.

24. Climate
The province has a cool and pleasant climate that falls
dominantly under type F, which is distinguished by an even
distribution of rainfall throughout the year. The Philippine summer
is not quite distinct here. The wettest month is February and the
dryest month is June. Lanao del Sur is outside of the typhoon belt
